I'm working with an HP Elitedesk 260 G2 Mini-desktop. Basically, basically it has USB 2 and 3, a VGA port and a RJ-45 port. I have a USB keyboard and mouse plugged into the USB 2 ports.

I pushed a Windows 7 image to it using my network boot solution, and it's now on the logon screen.

Normally, I have to wait a minute or two for a freshly imaged PC to see the USB hub and grab a driver for it, but for some reason this PC is refusing to bring up the keyboard and mouse, so I have no way to physically log in to finish up. I tried a different keyboard and mouse, but I have the suspicion that the PC isn't bringing up the USB hub itself.

Are there any methods I can use to log onto this? I tried psexecPsExec to get a shell, but the $ADMIN share is not enabled on this machine, so that's a no go.

What options to do I have when a freshly imaged computer can't see USB keyboard/mouse?
